I remember the olden days when website designers had to fiddle and do work arounds to suit the many non-conforming browsers which were then used. It's much easier now because the browsers are getting closer to being conformant.
For what it is worth I have it on good authority (Elizabeth Castro,
EPUB Straight to the Point) that ePub ebooks won't work on an iPad unless they conform with ePubcheck. So your attitude may well mean that people who use IPads won't be able to read books from your library. Is that what you want?

PS I'm going to download your test book, and will let you know whether it works on my Bookeen Gen3 and on my ECO Reader.
